In conjunction with the launch of his latest album, Egypt Station, and the upcoming global tour, GQ has released an in-depth feature on legendary musician Paul McCartney.
Journalist Chris Heath delves into various aspects of McCartney’s life, spanning from his mischievous childhood antics to recent controversial statements made about him by Damon Albarn and Quincy Jones.
During the interview, McCartney openly discussed his escapades while being a part of The Beatles.
He recounted an incident when he and John Lennon engaged in mutual masturbation with a group of friends at Lennon’s house, a revelation first disclosed in the 1997 biography Many Years From Now.
In this unique gathering, which involved McCartney, Lennon, and a few others, they playfully shouted out names like “Brigitte Bardot” to inspire their activities.
However, the lighthearted atmosphere was disrupted when Lennon unexpectedly called out “Winston Churchill,” much to everyone’s surprise.
McCartney clarified that such occurrences were not frequent and did not escalate into full-fledged orgies.
He described them as jovial moments of harmless fun that left lasting memories but did not cause harm to anyone involved.
The conversation then shifted to a popular Beatles anecdote claiming that George Harrison lost his virginity at 17 while sharing sleeping quarters with the band, receiving applause from his bandmates afterward.
McCartney cautiously acknowledged the story’s plausibility, highlighting the close camaraderie among the group that fostered deep bonds reminiscent of army comrades.
Refuting claims of extravagant orgies during their tours, McCartney emphasized that their encounters were more of a celestial nature, occasionally involving groupies.
He shared an anecdote of a threesome experience in Las Vegas while hinting at Lennon’s more adventurous inclinations in the realm of swinging.
McCartney expressed his personal aversion to orgies, preferring intimate experiences without additional participants.
He recounted a memorable encounter with two women in Vegas but maintained that his preferences leaned towards exclusivity rather than group activities.
Reflecting on how these intimate interactions strengthened the band’s musical cohesion and interpersonal relationships, McCartney credited their shared experiences for creating a tight-knit unit that could anticipate each other’s actions seamlessly.
